A large 28-by-28-inch snuffle mat with layered petals, shaggy grass-style rings, and added bells and crackly elements for multisensory enrichment.

Made from felt, polar fleece, and artificial grass-style strips, it offers a more complex foraging experience than basic mats and is machine washable on gentle settings.
Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson MultiPuzzle Level 4 Expert Toy
by Outward Hound
The Nina Ottosson MultiPuzzle Level 4 Expert Toy is a challenging treat puzzle with multiple sliding, rotating, and locking components designed to test experienced dogs. Dogs use their nose, paws, and snout to uncover hidden treats in layered compartments, and the removable center wheel allows the difficulty to be adjusted. Built from hard plastic, it is more durable than many basic puzzles but still intended for supervised enrichment rather than chewing. It is especially well suited for dogs that have already mastered beginner and intermediate puzzles.
